Wow! I love their facial expressions, but the contrast of light and dark is just breathtaking. It reminds me a bit of Vanitas paintings. Vanitas paintings/drawings are basically still life with items like money, beauty products, mirrors and other items that symbolize vanity and death. In some paintings, there's a pretty girl looking into a mirror and usually there's also an incarnation of death over her shoulder. This tells us that beauty and this life is fleeting. We all die someday. Pretty awesome paintings, but yours just captivates me. I know you probably weren't going for a Vanitas, but it's just what your art calls to mind. It's brilliant, dark, creepy, and beautiful.
This was worth the wait dear, oh so worth the wait. Like I said before I've watched your art for so long, and I'm absolutely floored to finally have a piece by you. I love how the sepia turned out and then that extra added color with the blood. It really makes it stand out. Her face just shows everything! I love how she shows the change in personality or rather in her eyes and expression you can see the wheels turning up there. I'm just in love with how you took the story and elements behind my characters and portrayed them so well in the piece. I love this.
YAY!! I'm so happy to hear you like it! Let me know how you want the large file recieved. I'll send you the large high quality PSD for printing (also you can use this for whatever you like, of course) thanks again for commissioning me. I had WAY too much fun with it lol
Oooh do you want me to note you my email for sending the file? You're welcome. I'm just excited, and I absolutely knew you would make my kiddos wonderful.
Sorry to go all college art lecture on you. ^_^
